What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always aim to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If situations arise that causes any need to change times slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Sure. Of course and DJ services will require and additional fee, but the playlist comes free with the service.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. This is a rough estimate and is usually a lot earlier. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a playlist to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our band time!

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

We can have a chat about songs if need be but the most of the

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Definitely, as standard.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there's a strong chance we already know it, or can work re-imagine it in our own style. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is an additional for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.

What do your clients love most about your performances?

From our previous performances, want many love about us is that we're very groove heavy and have a very distinct and powerful delivery and feel that makes us stand out very well, and we pride ourselves on making interaction and engagement our primary focus, because we want to leave a lasting impression whilst keeping you dancing and having fun.

Excellent experience. Were fabulous. Lots of the party guests asked where we had found them and were impressed with voices and musicianship. Wonderful vocalist, great set list and really lovely people. If we ever have another party we would not hesitate to book Feel Good Inc, and next time maybe have the whole band!
